	"description": "Please Sign the Petition! The Azura at Holmdel (former Vonage) development poses grave risks to our drinking water and our communities. The Holmdel Township Committee (“TC”) has the power and the authority to stop this health hazard and save our drinking water for now and generations to come. Please review the information below and sign the petition if you agree! Background The Azura at Holmdel project seeks to “grandfather” in an outdated, almost 50-year old wastewater management plant. For six months of the year, it will send inadequately treated wastewater to a Category-1 stream, the Willow Brook, and to the Swimming River Reservoir, the source of drinking water for more than 340,000 Monmouth County residents. The permits for this plant were issued almost 50 years ago, before the risks posed by pharmaceuticals, PFAS, hormones, antibiotics, and other chemicals in our drinking water were understood, and before the technology to clean them out of water existed. This redevelopment changes the use of the original building from office to full-time senior living, while adding 60 homes, an assisted living building, and a skilled nursing facility to the property. The developer seeks to “grandfather” this new development under existing permits, a disingenuous and deceitful move that pinches pennies and makes the developer more money, while putting our health at risk. The redevelopment will also use an open-air wastewater lagoon for six months of the year, and once the lagoon becomes full, they will spray the partially treated effluent like sprinklers, and what goes up, will come down onto nearby parks and yards, in pools, and onto streets, where it can be picked up and travel near and far. Through our research, we have found cases where bacteria from wastewater lagoons have traveled more than four miles and caused Legionella outbreaks, leading to death. The Holmdel Township Committee has the power and the authority to put residents’ health and safety first, and to stop this disaster before it happens. This willful contamination of our drinking water is outrageous. Please sign our petition urging the TC to stop this health hazard and save our drinking water for now and generations to come. Please help! We are raising funds to hire professionals, such as a lawyer and engineers, to help in the fight to stop this massive redevelopment and the grave risks to our health. Let&#x27;s prevent this health hazard before it contaminates our water. All funds raised will go to the professionals. No amount is too small - we are all in this together! https://gofund.me/76b838c60",
